Oil Leak
34,ooo mi on the odo and now experiencing oil leakage from under the filler port cap. Searching this comes up with various fixes, including buying a new cap, bending the prongs to tighten the caps, and several gasket fixes, but nothing seems to stop the oil blowing out. The thread is a couple years old. Any new news on this?

I bought a new cap from ecs. it might leak a tiny bit but it was improved. then again mine wasn't leaking this bad. I think it's just a poor cap design.

My guess would be a dent or bend in the aluminum filler neck itself (the piece that the cap screws into) if a new cap (with a new gasket) didn't seal properly.
